U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday dismissed French President Emmanuel Macron's plan to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly in September, APA reports citing Reuters.
"What he says doesn't matter," Trump told reporters at the White House. "He's a very good guy. I like him, but that statement doesn't carry weight."
Recall that Emmanuel Macron announced that France will officially recognize the state of Palestine at the UN General Assembly to be held in September.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio noted that the United States does not support France's intention to recognize the state of Palestine.
